She lives all in. He plays it safe. This time, neither is backing down. MacKenzie Lockhart is done playing defense in her personal life. Back in the small town of Good Hope after years of competition, she’s rebuilding on her own terms—focused on coaching, family, and staying grounded. Romance isn’t part of the plan… until Connor Brody moves in next door and turns her carefully ordered life upside down. Connor came home to regroup, not fall for the woman who’s always challenged him most. After learning the hard way that patience can feel safer than desire, he’s content to keep his heart guarded. But the closer he gets to Mac, the harder it is to ignore what’s always been there—and the risk of losing her if he stays on the sidelines. Rebound is a slow-burn, neighbors-to-lovers, second-chance contemporary romance about trust, timing, and learning how to choose each other—before it’s too late.
